Oh that sure. But Eurocheese of folk music would be a whole 'other level of weirdness. Some corps could make that leap easily, it'd be too much for Phantom..heh

As the video linked elsewhere mentioned. It was a pretty hard show. They were never gonna fully clean it. But they got it out there with all the verve it needed to shine.

That's good to hear. Can't wait to see what they do next season.

I had not thought of this reaction. It's perfect

May his contribution to drum corps lot humor never end.

What I'm reading here is "White uniforms + Floor work for body movement = lots of smudge"

Also. would someone please get the guts to put this on the field

I'm all for more Metheny on the field. This is a great selection. A modern take on First Circle would be an awesome callback for them to do too.

As long as they don't go full Eurovision with it...

I could totally see them going with "good cowboys wear white hats and kick a__" thing if they go all white. The common denominator with the recent vibe literally being the spaghetti western tropes

Lol at the "GH" appearing on the video during the wicked games clip where they throw the one lady into the fire.

Particularly that 6th grade band for beginners. I was the only one who could really even play their instrument when I had to sit through that.

This fella is so darn cute.

boop. I have now gone ahead and isolated Both Sides Now from my audio pull from a recipe from the Allentown cookbook and am listening on a loop much like I did "Everything Must Change" I'm in a good place.

it seems some people just don't grasp satire.

And when the Cavies take the field, everyone is gonna know it. 😉

I'll second the "kudos and keep going" for the guard! I remember seeing the show early on via Flo and remarking "I can't recall the last time my eye has been drawn to paying attention to what the Phantom guard is doing in a positive way." It just grew and grew too. Hopefully it gets them auditions and they can keep building on it!

Saw them in finals the only time I've done finals for 2000. I have personal attachment to that show I've shared on here before but yeah. That one ALWAYS gets me. I"m probably weird about this, but I kinda like going to tour shows better. I mean you don't get ALL THE CORPS, but you're seeing them in the lot, at the busses, and getting ready while on the tour and it just feels like summer that way

I'm...actually relieved this is a thread about the "marching while playing" debate. When I saw reddit my first thought was, "which corps was it this time to have SA incidents break into the open?"

That's a smart move for boosting their appeal to guard folks.

Innit that basically what Garden of Love was? 😅

I got talking about flashbulbs in the Hornrank band forum remembering a Ben Davis (IN) show from the 80s when I marched against them and they were the "BD" of the ISSMA circuit. The response back was "do they even make flashcubes anymore?" and... searching around it seems not. Its probably one of those things you could give to current MMs and ask "what do you think this is?" and get some hilarious guesses.

I'm pretty sure they're purchasable on Apple but perhaps not part of the streaming library. Dunno if that's a licensing distinction or a marketing one why they'd be available one way but not the other.

This sounds like a good night out.

Don’t sit on learning the Couchmen choreo! or do. I forget how it works but I’m pretty good at it now.
